A Linen Set from Darling Magazine
The women empowerment magazine, Darling, recently launched their own capsule-focused clothing line! I’ve been a fan of Darling’s aesthetic for awhile so when I heard they were launching a clothing line I knew it would be cute! I’m excited that they asked me to try out this cute linen set from their recent monthly drop.

A Linen Set from Darling Magazine
About Darling Magazine
Darling magazine was founded in 2009 by Sarah Dubbledam, a former model, who was hoping to shift cultural mindsets on beauty and self-esteem. Hoping to change the conversation around women and body image, Darling was the first magazine to not photoshop women’s body and skin. Since then the magazine has morphed into a media company and lifestyle brand – most recently launching a capsule clothing line!
Darling Magazine Capsule Collections
Darling started with a 20-piece “Paris meets Copenhagen” collection that features minimalist pieces that create the foundation of a versatile wardrobe. The pieces are ethically made in China from made from cotton, linen, rayon, and viscose blends. Right now that collection is 47% sustainable. You can read more about Darling’s production process here.
Darling also releases Monthly Drops with “trendier” pieces. The linen set that I picked out is from the Tuscon Summer Collection. I loved the more feminine designs in this capsule. And while Darling’s regular capsule collection is all neutrals, the Tuscon Summer Capsule has the gorgeous green and clay shades!
I also fell in love with all the details – the puff sleeves and interesting V-neckline on the top. And the double belt with horn buckle details on the skirt. I love that I can wear the top and skirt together as a set or wear them individually. The top looks super cute with a pair of high waisted denim and the skirt looks great with simple tees too.
Size and Fit
My measurements: 33-28-38, 130lbs, 5’8″
I’m wearing the size small in both the top and skirt, which is my usual size across different brands. I would say these pieces run a little big – although the size chart is accurate. I could have fit in the XS for both pieces. The size small top does slide off my shoulders a bit. I went with size small because that’s my usual size and lately and I’ve even been taking a medium in some pieces. So I didn’t want to go with the XS in case things ran small. The good news is – the skirt is really adjustable so I didn’t have a problem making it tighter. The skirt also has an elastic waist back which allows it to stretch a lot. I think if you are in-between sizes you can take your smaller size and if you want a tighter fit you can size down.
The material has a really nice feel to it and is made from 56% linen and 44% rayon. So it has the feel of linen but the rayon makes it softer and drape nicely. The “Cilantro” shade is also a really pretty green color. The “Clay” colorway is really pretty as well.
I thought my brown leather accessories would pair really nicely with the hunter green shade. I love the “earthy” color combo in this outfit. The rich green and brown looks really nice together. This outfit also makes me feel like I’m on a European vacation. I can imagine myself wearing this in the Italian countryside. Someone please take me there ASAP!
